Last night, amid very cold temperatures and flying flurries, Jason and I decided to make the second "Feed the Fans" night at the Bucknell basketball game a family affair. I really wasn't too sure how it would go, but as usual, Joshua surprised us with his cooperation and relatively good behavior. You can see me in action above---- the one talking (surprise surprise), but doing business, so that was good. While we were handing out pizza to all of the attendees, Jason and Joshua were doing the really important stuff...checking out Bucky Bison (who Joshua referred to as "that animal") and sitting by the band to see the instruments. I got quite a chuckle out of Joshua cheering along with the students in the stands. If you've never heard a 2 year old chant, "defense" and "shoot the ball" and "Go Bucknell!", it's pretty funny. I'm 100% sure he had no idea what he was saying, but he seemed to be having fun. It was actually difficult to get him to go home when the pizza pushing was over and he's asked when we can go back to another game soon. Looks like we may have a fan on our hands. Daddy said he'd prefer to go to a men's game the next time, so we'll work on that.
So the child who has had me believing in the "terrible twos" for the past few days was as sweet as he could have been this morning before I left for work. He ate his breakfast without a fight (almost unheard of) and then asked nicely if we could "please get the Play-Doh out and make some snakes and spiders?" Who can say no to that. So we played at least 45 minutes worth of Play-Doh with no tantrums and lots of silly pretending about what we were making and what their names were. At one point when I told Josh I was afraid of spiders he said, "Don't worry Mommy. He's friendly." That helped.
